Put a Curve in the Road

Set a focal point on an axis stemming from the house. This fountain and path are deliberately aligned with the doorway. Design by Kerry Burt

Cobalt-Blue Moat

The blue-rock faux stream makes a low-maintenance water feature. But there isn't a lack of water as the mosaic tile on the wall sits atop a small fountain. The freeform terra-cotta patio interspersed with moss and groundcover gives this gathering spot lovely Old World charm. Design by Katrina Fairchild
